Darren Sproles up the gut

Artifact of beat up OL. It's not like the pass plays down there were any more successful.

Losing Allen hurt - they don't have to fear Inman like Allen for obvious reasons and can focus on Gates and Woodhead more.

Norv Turner lives!!!

Sproles, and Woodhead aren't the guys you want to pound it in with at goal line, or on 3rd and short, or 4th and short.

We haven't had a back since LT (Not old LT before he went to the Jets) to get short yardage. You would think someone athletic as Gordon should be able leap over like LT, but hell we can't trust him to hang on to the ball. I love some Sproles in the day and Woodhead but not running in short yardage plays period.

You could also blame it on Rivers for those plays. He has choice of audibling out of the run play.

I kinda miss the bunch package that we used down on the goalline a couple years ago that got us out of our scoring funk in McCoy's first year. Bunch to one side, Woodhead in an offset to the other, with a split receiver isolated on the backside (usually running a fade). You can run a bubble screen to the bunch, or go backside to either the iso or to Woodhead. Not sure why we didn't come out and run that personnel group 4 times in the final series. Lots of options out of that package, just let Rivers call it at the line.

Bunch formation was another thing we used to do under whiz that seems to no longer exist after he left.

When the Chargers beat the Bengals in the playoffs two years ago the Bengals used a defensive lineman in the backfield to block for the running back to gain a couple of first downs and a touchdown, and I asked how come the Chargers don't ever do that. I mean just blow a frickin hole in the wall. Hell put two of them in the backfield in front of the running back. Ala Refrigerator Perry.

Our defensive linemen can't even play defense. You expect them to play offense?

All it is is hit the first guy you see wearing a different jersey. It's not rocket science.

Truthfully I think that was the response to my question two years ago. Was that you?

Possibly. We still have the same crappy D-linemen. And I tend to forget I already typed something.

Dave's not here, man.
